The following requirements must be fulfilled in order for you to import your dog to Norway:1) The dog must be ID-tagged. Only microchip is considered valid for animals that are ID-tagged after July 3. 2011. Tattooing is now accepted only if the tattoo is easily readable, and applied before July 3. 2011. The dog must be ID-tagged before it is rabies vaccinated. The identity number shall be stated in the veterinary certificate and all original documents.

2) The dog must be vaccinated against rabies. A blood sample must be taken from the dog when at least 30 days have passed since the vaccination. The blood sample must be taken by a veterinarian, and must be analyzed by an accredited laboratory. The blood test must display an antibody titer against rabies of at least 0,5 IU/ml.You will find a list of accredited laboratories here: http://ec.europa.eu/food/animal/liveanimals/pets/approval_en.htm

After the blood sample is taken there is a waiting period of at least 90 days before a veterinary certificate is issued by an official veterinarian. The certificate can not be issued until 90 days after the blood sample is taken.

3) The dog must be treated against Echinococcus multilocularis with an approved product (for example praziqantel or epsiprantel) during the last 10 days prior to entry into Norway. The treatment must take place in the country the dog is traveling from. The treatment must be repeated during the first 7 days after entry into Norway. Both treatments must be endorsed in the veterinary certificate by a veterinarian.

4) Dogs imported into Norway from non-listed countries must have a veterinary certificate. The certificate shall contain information on the name of the dogs owner, the dogs ID-tagging, rabies vaccination, blood test result, and treatment against tapeworm. The certificate shall be signed by an official veterinarian in the sending country.

Dogs that already have an EU-approved passport, and who are returning to the EU/EEA after having resided in a non-listed country, do not need a veterinary certificate in addition to the passport. However, the passport shall contain the name of the animals owner and information on the animals ID-tagging, rabies vaccination, and treatment against tapeworm, as well as the result of the blood test.

5) Importation of dogs to Norway from non-listed countries shall only occur via OSL Gardermoen or Storskog road, unless such inspections have been performed at another authorized point of entry in the EU/EEA. You will find the list of the EU-approved points of entry here: http://ec.europa.eu/food/animal/liveanimals/pets/pointsentry_en.htmSuch dogs can be routed over any duty station in Norway, provided there is evidence that the animal has been checked. Such evidence may consist of the official stamp on the veterinary certificate, or a so called CVED (Common Veterinary Entry Document) from the border. If the animal comes directly from a non-listed country, the Veterinary Border Control Station at Gardermoen or Storskog road must be notified at least 48 hours in advance, of the time and place of arrival.Gardermoen (Oslo) Phone: (+ 47) 64 82 04 00 Fax: (+ 47) 64 82 04 01 E-mail: BIP-gardermoen@mattilsynet.noStorskog (Kirkenes) Phone: (+ 47) 957 79 121 Fax: (+ 47) 78 99 75 00 E-mail: BIP-Storskog@mattilsynet.noThe requirements I have listed above apply for dogs imported non-commercially.If the dog is sent as cargo instead of being transported as part of a passengers travel, if you travel with more than five animals, or if the animal is to be sold or distributed after arrival in Norway, the regulations for commercial entry apply.Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this matter.

SwedenEntering from outside EU directly to SwedenEntry points: Stockholm/Arlanda and Gothenburg/LandvetterAnimals from countries outside EU must enter the EU via an approved entry point. For animals entering Sweden directly from a country outside EU, there are two entry points: Stockholm/Arlanda airport and Gothenburg/Landvetter airport.

Thailand is a country with a high risk of rabies infection, so rabies serological test must be done before import. Before taking the blood sample, pet must be microchipped and vaccinated against rabies. After vaccination there is a 30 day waiting period before taking the blood sample. After taking the blood sample, there is a three month waiting period before import is allowed.

The rabies vaccination and revaccination must be carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer. For most vaccines, it is recommended that the animal is over 12 weeks old. The veterinarian administering the vaccine is responsible for complying with the recommendations. In addition to the requirements, the vaccinated puppies under 12 weeks of age imported from all non-EU countries, must be accompanied by a veterinary certificate confirming that the vaccination has been carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer. The certificate must be completed in Finnish or English.

Please notice that imported puppy must be at least 7 months of age (rabies vaccination at age of 12 weeks + 30 days of waiting period + 3 months of waiting period).

Here are the import conditions when importing a pet (dog) from countries with a high risk of rabies infection such as Thailand:

Pet must be microchipped. Microchip must be approved in EU, more information on our website.Rabies vaccination AFTER identification tagRabies serological examination made in a EU-approved laboratory. Blood sample for examination must be taken no less than 30 days following the rabies vaccination and at least three months prior to importation. Echinococcus treatment 5-1 days before import (worm treatment, must contain epsiprantel or praziquantel).EU-model veterinary certificate for non-commercial import signed by an authorized veterinarian (must be filled in English, Finnish or Swedish)Must come through an approved point of entry

* Copy of Health certificate, copy of Rabies Vaccination, copy of Airway Bill, and copy of owner's passport with International visa should be available for clearance.

From. Category 6: Non approved countriesThailand is not an AQIS approved country. This means you can not import a cat or dog to Australia directly from Thailand.

The country of export you have chosen is not an AQIS approved country. This means you can not import a cat or dog to Australia directly from this country.The importation of cats and dogs from an AQIS non approved country can only occur indirectly via an AQIS approved country.

If you intend to import cats and dogs indirectly via an AQIS approved country, you must first contact the quarantine service in the AQIS approved country to ensure that cats and dogs are eligible for entry. Cats and dogs must meet all of the pre and post-entry quarantine requirements of the AQIS approved country.

Cats and dogs must be continuously resident in an AQIS approved country for a minimum of six months prior to export. There are no exceptions to this requirement. Cats and dogs must meet all of the AQIS import conditions that apply to the AQIS approved country before being eligible for import into Australia.Example: The cat/dog is currently living in Thailand Thailand is not an AQIS approved country. Singapore is an AQIS approved country. You will then need to contact the quarantine service in Singapore to determine whether they allow cats/dogs to be imported into Singapore from Thailand. If the animal can be imported into Singapore, 6 months after arriving in Singapore the cat/dog may be imported into Australia. This is provided the animal meets all of the AQIS import conditions for cats/dogs from Singapore.Note: Singapore is only one example of an AQIS approved country. Not all cats and dogs must be sent to Singapore to be eligible for import into Australia.All vaccinations, blood samples and blood testing required by AQIS must be conducted whilst the cat or dog is resident in an AQIS approved country. AQIS will not accept any pre-export vaccinations, blood samples or blood testing completed in an AQIS non approved country.

Step 1  Have your pet microchipped  Before any of the other procedures for pet travel are carried out, your pet must be fitted with a microchip so it can be properly identified.

Step 2  Have your pet vaccinated  After the microchip has been fitted your pet must be vaccinated against rabies. There is no exemption to this requirement, even if your pet has a current rabies vaccination. Rabies boosters must be kept up to date.

Step 3  Arrange a blood test  After your pet has been vaccinated, it must be blood tested to make sure the vaccine has given it a satisfactory level of protection against rabies. The blood sample must be taken at least 30 days after vaccination. The length of the waiting period before entry to the UK is three calendar months from the date your vet took the blood sample which led to a satisfactory test result. The three month waiting period will not apply if your pet was vaccinated and blood tested in the EU and issued with an EU pet passport before it went to an unlisted country.

Step 4  Get pet travel documentation You will need to obtain an official third country veterinary certificate.

Step 5  Tapeworm treatment (dogs only): before entering the UK, all pet dogs (including assistance dogs) must be treated for tapeworm. The treatment must be administered by a vet not less than 24 hours and not more than 120 hours (1-5 days) before its scheduled arrival time in the UK. There is no mandatory requirement for tick treatment.

No treatment is required for dogs entering the UK from Finland, Ireland or Malta).Step 6  Arrange for your animal to travel with an approved transport company on an authorised route  Your pet must enter the UK with an approved transport company on an authorised route.

In order for any dog or cat (including puppies or kittens) to qualify for a direct airport release you must prepare the animal completely using our 5 day or less checklist (in conjunction with our Hawaii Rabies Quarantine Information Brochure) and meet all procedural requirements, documentation, and waiting time requirements in order to qualify for a direct release. Any pet qualified for the 5 day program is qualified for a direct airport release.

The dog or cat must have had 2 rabies vaccinations separated by a minimum of 30 days. The previous rabies vaccination could have been from anytime in the animals lifetime. The earliest a pup or kitten can get a first rabies vaccination is at 3 months of age. The current rabies vaccination must be done a minimum of 90 days before arrival, and still be valid upon entry into Hawaii. The two rabies vaccinations do not need to be consecutive. A microchip must be implanted, and then a passing OIE-FAVN test must also be done followed by a mandatory 120 day wait before the animal arrives. This wait period starts the day after the testing facility receives the passing sample.

If these requirements cannot be met the animal will enter quarantine for up to 120 days. Puppies and kittens can also be rabies carriers. If one follows all procedural requirements for a puppy or kitten as soon as possible and within our time frame requirements, meets all documentation requirements, and the mandatory wait periods the pet would be at least 8 months of age by the time it is qualified under the 5 day program. These requirements are set by law and are non negotiable.

All requirements for our 5 day or less program are available at:http://www.hawaii.gov/hdoa/ai/aqs/info

Unfortunately, neither Thailand or India are approved countries under the New Zealand pet travel scheme. This means that your dog can't even be imported into NZ and fulfill the necessary 6-month quarantine upon arrival. He will need to be sent first to an approved country and fulfill the NZ import requirements. The easiest way to do this would be to send your dog to the US and have him stay in the US for 180 days. He would need to follow these New Zealand pet import requirements. Then he could travel to NZ and would undergo a 30 day quarantine in the NZ quarantine facility upon arrival, which is required for pets coming from approved countries. I hope this helps and let us know if you need any further assistance! .NEW ZEALAND IMPORT RULES AND REQUIREMENTS

The rules and requirements in this document are applicable to import from the United States. Dogs, Cats and other small animals imported into New Zealand must undergo import quarantine, in accordance with the Rabies Prevention Law. On Condition that the following criteria have been fulfilled, the quarantine period for a dog or cat entering Nis 180 days. 150 of these days can be completed in the country of origin, however there is a mandatory 30-day quarantine for all live animals entering the country. Before beginning the import procedures, make sure that your vet is approved by the Government Veterinarian Authority in the country of origin. For example, if an animal is departing the United States, the vet will need to be USDA Accredited. Requirements in Summary:210 Days Before Arrival: MICROCHIP IMPLANTING: Animal must have (or obtain) microchip identification. This must be done before the rabies vaccinations. The only microchips that can be read in New Zealand are ISO 11784 and 11785 Standards. For any other chips, you must bring your own microchip reader.

During import inspection at the time of arrival in New Zealand, if the microchip number is not confirmed or the microchip number is not the same as that on the inspection certificate, the animal will be subject to a 180-day quarantine period or returned to the country of origin.

PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL MICROCHIP NUMBERS MATCH ON EVERY DOCUMENT.

After implant of the microchip, the animal receives a new rabies vaccination. This must be inactivated rabies vaccinations. Be sure to obtain certification of the period of validity for the particular vaccinations that you obtain (some are good for two years, others for only one).

180 Days Before Arrival: After the Rabies Vaccination, you must wait at least 3 weeks (but not more than a year) before your pet can receive a Rabies Neutralizing Antibody Titre test (FAVN or RFFTI) to ensure that the rabies vaccination has provided adequate rabies antibody levels and must be tested by a facility approved by the Government of New Zealand. Your Vet will send these to the approved lab listed below. Please have your vet call them before sending to make sure they are aware of the delivery and the destination location (New Zealand). The results of the blood test must be 0.5 IU/ml or above.

Your vet will need to scan your pets microchip prior to the blood draw for the Titer/ FAVN Test.

The date in which blood was drawn for this test is when the 180-day quarantine countdown begins. You may keep your pet in the country of origin for 150 days and send at this time, exposing the animal to the minimum 30-day quarantine period.

This test result will remain valid for 1 year from the time the blood sample was taken. If you need to repeat your Pets Titer Test you must re-test within a year of the initial Titer Test to demonstrate continuous protection against rabies and to avoid another lengthy wait before being eligible for entry into New Zealand.

The date of the blood sampling, the laboratory used, microchip number, and the test results shall be well noted on all health certificates. The matching of these numbers is critical to its success. Please double-check them!Rabies Titer / FAVN-OIE Tests: FAVN or Fluorescent Antibody Viral Neutralization (FAVN) Blood Test is to ensure that the rabies vaccinations have provided adequate rabies antibody levels and will need to be approved by an approved Government Facility prior to export (i.e. the USDA).

30 Days Before Arrival: 1. A second Titer test is required. Using the same instructions as listed above, a second Rabies Titer test is required. Whatever method was used for the first test, the same method must be used for the second test.

2. Fecal Tests  All animals require two fecal exams at least 14 days apart using the sensitive flotation procedure and show negative results for hookworm eggs. This test can be completed at the vets office and must be noted on export documents regarding dates performed and results.- DOGS ONLY - Within 30 days of departure have your vet scan the animals microchip and draw blood for the following tests:

1. Ehrlichiosis  Your dog must produce a negative result using the Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test at a dilution of 1:40. Within 24 hours of blood draw, treat with external parasite treatment against ticks.

2. Brucellosis  Your dog must produce a negative result by means of a serum agglutination test. Once blood is collected for this test your dog must not be mated or inseminated prior to export.

3. Leptospirosis  Your dog needs to produce a negative result by means of a microscopic agglutination test to be eligible for import. These results need to read less than 50% agglutination at a serum dilution of 1:100. Dogs record a result of more than 1:100 but less than 1:800 can be re-tested 14 days or more after the first test. These second results must also show a titre result of less than 1:800. Dogs that record a result of 1:800 or more are ineligible for import.

Note: Vaccination against Leptospirosis is not recommended within 6 months of export, as your pets high antibody response will most likely result in it being ineligible for export to New Zealand.

4. Heartworm  Your dog must produce a negative result on a Lab Report Form for Canine Heartworm. This test can be run with the tests listed above. All original results will need to travel with the dog and will also need to be recorded on the Import Permit (Veterinary Certificate A).

21 Days Before Arrival: All animals must be treated for cestodes (tapeworm  Praziquantel/Dronsit)

14 Days Before Arrival: All animals require a second Fecal Exam at this time. The first fecal is done within 30 days of departure.

10 Days Before Arrival: All animals must be tested for babesia gibsoni. This test is done by Texas A&M

Obtain a Health Certificate from your Vet within 10 days of departure.

This certificate must state that the animal(s) are in good health and OK to fly.

4 Days Before Arrival: 1. Internal Parasite Treatment  Dogs and Cats must be treated with a product approved for the treatment of nematodes and cestodes e.g. Drontal.

2. External Parasite Treatment - Teat with medicines effective against ticks and fleas. Note product and concentration. Oral products, injections and medicated collars are not satisfactory, neither are products that rely on the parasite biting your pet. Washes and rinses that prevent ticks and tick bites are acceptable.

The active ingredient, dose rate, and treatment date for the above treatments must be recorded on Veterinary Certificate A.

3. Final Vet Exam  Must be performed by an accredited vet. Vet Certificate A is to be completed at this time. An international health certificate must also be issued at this time: APHIS Form 7001.

All documents must be reviewed and endorsed by the USDA at this time. Your Pet Relocation agent will have these final steps (within 4 days of departure) completed on your behalf.

Pets are animals which are kept out of interest in the animals or as household companions. They accompany their owners or persons acting on behalf of the owners. Pets are not to be sold or passed on to new owners.

Commercial imports can not be done by travellers.

You want to bring along your dog or cat for holidays abroad? Before you leave you have to make some arrangements regarding identification (chipping), rabies vaccinations and pet ID. An online tool of the Swiss federal veterinary office gives you all the help you need.

Moving to Switzerland: Microchip (ISO Standard 11784, which only contains digits as identification code according to standard ISO 11785). The chip must have been implanted before the present rabies vaccination at the latest. On entry into Switzerland from a country at risk for rabies, the chip must have been implanted before the rabies vaccination on which blood sampling for the antibody test is based. Valid rabies vaccination A blood test (= antibody test) to confirm the effectiveness of vaccination. The animal may enter the country provided the following timelines have been observed:o Blood sampling for the antibody test 30 days after vaccination at the earliest.o After blood sampling a further waiting period of 3 months is mandatory before entry. (Exception: the waiting period does not apply if the blood analysis was already carried out in Switzerland or the EU before departure).Since the animals cannot be vaccinated before they are 3 months old, they can therefore not enter the country until they are at least 7 months old. Permit to enter from country at risk for rabies via airport Veterinary certificate If you enter Switzerland directly by air, you have to undergo a customs inspection at the airport. A fee of CHF 88 is charged by Customs for this inspection. If the animals do not meet the import regulations, they are confiscated by the border veterinary service and must be returned to their country of origin immediately at the expense of the person importing the animals. If a return journey is not possible within 10 days, the animals must be put down. If you enter the country overland via the EU, the border veterinary inspection is carried out on entry into the EU. The national authorities responsible charge a fee for this inspection. Entries from the EU into Switzerland are subject to random checks by customs to ensure compliance with the entry regulations (no fee is charged for these checks). It is forbidden to import dogs with docked ears or tails into Switzerland. As a dog owner you are required to register your animal(s) in your Swiss place of residence. Your veterinarian must additionally register the dogs in the Swiss dog database (ANIS). Ask the local authority in Switzerland either at your holiday destination or, if you are moving, in the place where you plan to live about special regulations with regard to the requirements for keeping animals on a leash or using a muzzle. Find out about the training requirements for dog owners in Switzerland. More (in German) ... This regulation only applies to pets, such as dogs, cats and ferrets, which are kept out of interest in the animal or as a household companion. They accompany their owners or a person designated by the owners. After being taken over the border, pets must not be sold or handed over to new owners. They must already be in the care of their owners in the country of origin. If the animals are handed over to new owners after their entry into the country, the regulations governing the commercial animal imports apply.
